China Complains to US about 'Dangerous' Weapons Aid to Taiwan

China said on Tuesday it has complained to the United States about a weapons aid package to Taiwan, urging Washington to refrain from going further down a "wrong and dangerous" path.

The US unveiled an aid package for Taiwan worth up to $345 million on Friday as Congress authorized up to $1 billion worth of weapons aid for the island as a part of the 2023 budget, Reuters reported.

A spokesperson for China's defense ministry, Tan Kefei, said the US must stop all forms of "military collusion" with Taiwan.

"The Taiwan issue concerns China's core interests and is a red line that cannot be crossed in China-US relations," Tan said in a statement.
